Have you ever heard someone on a soapbox about how virtual summits don't work? Yeah me too.

And hosting a summit with the wrong speaker lineup is a big reason why many people come to that conclusion.

Let's talk about choosing speakers that will get both you and them results. And don't worry, it's simple!

Choosing the right virtual summit speakers

Today, we'll cover why I recommend making connections before pitching, whether you really have to do it, and a simple strategy for creating those connections....

You know you want to host a virtual summit. You've chosen your topic, know your goals, and now it's time to choose your speakers.

No matter what your goal is, there are some pieces you should always pay attention to. So in this episode, we'll go over 5 keys to a successful online summit.

Leveraging affiliates can increase your summit's sales several times over. In fact, in my first 3 summits, affiliates have been responsible for 50% or more of sales. If you're starting with a small audience, that number can be even higher.

To cover all things affiliates, I've brought in Zoe Linda to go over affiliate marketing basics, the biggest mistakes she sees, how to find good...

Tech is overwhelming, but it doesn't have to be! In this episode, we're going to talk about the tech piece of offering an all-access pass.

We'll cover what you need to consider, the most common tech choices, and how to decide which option is right for you.

Virtual summits bring a powerful opportunity to make money and limited-time offers for your all-access pass can increase that impact 10 times over.
